Because l mark my goods in plain figures
that speak more eloquently than words
Price tags which have a tongue. You need
no salesman to interpret for you. Your eyes
do it all. Here are the Shoes and Hats
Here are the prices on each. One price as
plain as black can be on white. We ask you
again why shouldn't this be the best place to
buy? We get the goods in such lots that the
manufacturer every time gives me his bottom
best prices. No dealer anywhere can get the
goods on better terms than |. This is why no
other store can do better by you in fine Shoes
and Hats. It's with the things of little cost
that most dealers bait you. They can afford
to make loss on a small sale if they catch
you in that way for big one. There is no
bait but honest value when you see a plain
price tag On every thing. Ours is the largest
stock by long odds in the town.
